00:11Imagine, if you will, an island through which a terrible storm has passed.
00:17Prior to the storm, there were huts made from the plentiful supply of palm trees that grow at the edge of the shore.
00:24The island's canoes, also made from palms, have been destroyed.
00:30The island's church and schoolhouse, established by unpopular Christian missionaries, have also been destroyed.
00:36There are only enough surviving palm trees to house 30 families.
00:40There is another island, uninhabited, approximately a seven-hour canoe ride away.
00:45Yet a third island, which is inhabited, approximately a 12-hour canoe ride away.
00:51One canoe can take two adults and requires a single palm tree.
00:55All three islands are British protectorates.
00:58Another storm is due to batter the island in three days' time, and may be worse than the last.
01:06You are in charge.
01:09What do you do?
01:11How significant is the language barrier?
01:13I need a translator.
01:14There's the missionaries.
01:16If everyone hates the missionaries, they're the last people we should use.
01:20How did I get there?
01:21And did it involve an aeroplane?
01:23Because, well, I think an aeroplane would be quite useful.
01:26On your original application, you wrote you were particularly drawn to the civil service for the possibility of travel, which I took to be a not-so-subtle hint that your real area of interest is simply the foreign office, and the opportunity it affords for, well, for gadding about.
01:45Well, I do like the idea of travel.
01:49It's actually an incredibly exciting time to be at home.
01:52The country has been flattened, rather.
01:54Now we rebuild.
01:55Exciting.
01:56Would you have any moral compunction if you were to be serving under a socialist government?
02:03No.
02:03But you yourself...
02:04You do not need to state your political allegiance.
02:07I'm a Tory.
02:09But if Mr. Attlee comes to power, it will be our duty to serve his government.
02:13He won't come to power.
02:14Elected on the basis that the poor in this country have had to put up with a damn law.
02:18Language!
02:19And won't take any more.
02:22And we must serve them with alacrity.
02:25The point is, we are neutral.
02:28Of course.
02:31If you aren't accepted here, what will you do?
02:34Anything but go home again.
02:46How's the family?
02:48Yeah, good.
02:57The girl you like?
02:59The other girl?
03:01She's in.
03:04I want to know more about her.
03:21Money.
03:23Her family need it.
03:25She has a complicated relationship with them, so...
03:27Ideology.
03:28Basically a Tory, not a zealot.
03:32Compromise, coercion.
03:34Her brother's probably a homosexual.
03:38Ego?
03:39Adventure.
03:41That's a ticket with her.
03:45Let her settle in.
03:46Then we make our move.
03:59The civil service?
04:01Sorry, I don't understand.
04:03You're going to be a secretary.
04:05Why can't you just meet someone?
04:07Even Freddie has managed to meet someone.
04:10Well, you had to.
04:12Otherwise people would talk.
04:12Shut up, Phoebe.
04:13Honestly, she doesn't know anything about anything and then tries to hide it by talking too much.
04:24Something wrong with the meat?
04:27I'm vegetarian.
04:30What?
04:30I'm sorry, I'm vegetarian.
04:34I don't eat meat.
04:39Hugh is a very fine solicitor and I think will be instrumental as you make decisions about the house.
04:47Falcon Army used the East Wing as a barracks, treated it appallingly.
04:51You will seek compensation and then fix the bloody roof.
04:55We'll present you with a variety of options.
04:58Including a tax haven.
05:02Always wise.
05:03A little wise with the socialists, Gennon.
05:06Not that there's a chance of that.
05:07Freddie's going to replace me in the Commons.
05:10I shall take my seat in the Lords.
05:12Good luck in the election.
05:15I'm also running.
05:16For the Labour Party.
05:20You're running for Labour.
05:25They've got no hope.
05:27Congratulations.
05:28What for?
05:30For irritating my father and brother.
05:33Seems fairly easily done.
05:37If you're a socialist, why are you fiddling my father's taxes anyway?
05:41Don't you want all his money to go to the pool?
05:44Well, I can only afford my principles on my day off, unfortunately.
05:51Actually, there is no fiddling your father's taxes.
05:53So what will you tell Daddy tomorrow?
05:58The cheapest option is to demolish the house.
06:03It's going to be a wedding tú ridера.
06:09You're up for dinner.
06:09It's going to be a minute.
06:10And it's not good.
06:12You're going to try to be a produzky.
06:13You're going to be an member of the palace.
06:14And you're going to bury the house.
06:16Because of its protection, you're going to survive on the hand.
